Temperature switch
The converter interprets a resistance ≥100Ω as an opened bimetallic switch and responds
according to the setting for p0610.
PTC sensor
The converter interprets a resistance >1650Ω as being an overtemperature condition and
responds according to the setting of p0610.
The converter interprets a resistance <20Ω as being a short-circuit and responds with alarm
A07015. If the alarm is present for longer than 100milliseconds, the converter shuts down
with fault F07016.
Pt1000 sensor
Using a Pt1000 sensor, the converter monitors the motor temperature and the sensor itself
for wire breakage and/or short-circuit:
• Temperature monitoring:
Using a Pt1000 sensor, the converter evaluates the motor temperature in the range from
-48°C...+248°C.
Set the temperature for the alarm and fault thresholds with parameter p0604 or p0605.
– Overtemperature alarm (A07910):
-motor temperature>p0604 and p0610=0
– Overtemperature fault (F07011):
The converter responds with a fault in the following cases:
-motor temperature> p0605
-motor temperature>p0604 and p0610> 0
• Sensor monitoring (A07015 or F07016):
– Wire-break:
The converter interprets a resistance >2120Ω as a wire-break and outputs the alarm
A07015. After 100milliseconds, the converter changes to the fault state with F07016.
– Short-circuit:
The converter interprets a resistance <603Ω as a short-circuit and outputs the alarm
A07015. After 100milliseconds, the converter changes to the fault state with F07016.
